Pomegranates

“. . . His urges are always toward life and more life and forgiveness and more forgiveness.  And what comes from Him are like these juicy pomengranates I saw in Israel; they are plain on the outside, but inside they are loaded with light-giving rubies that are sweet and precious, and quench and fill.  Like those outwardly simple but incredibly rich words of Micah:  ‘What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?'” ~ from A True and Faithful Narrative by Katherine Sturtevant
